Makal (2022) - full transcript

'Makal'

'Daughter'

- Listen.
- Yeah.

I don't think we can trust
America anymore!

What happened?

They don't have a
consistent stand.

Look what happened
in Afghanistan?

They orphaned and left
them suddenly, right?

Many people lost their financial
stability because of that.

Look at my plight!

I lost a lot of my share value
in the stock exchange.



It's not childish anymore!

That's why I said, leave aside all
these shares and focus on Gold.

Gold is risky.

You need to be a little
courageous on our profession.

I am brave enough.

But I am unable to recover
properly from an occasional blip.

- Just turn around then.
- Alas, Oh my God!

What happened?

Why did you ask me
to turn around?

I was asking you to shift
from Gold to digital.

Goodness! I got scared.

Didn't you see that
police jeep pass by?

Why don't you calmly
give me advises?

So, what I was saying is,



Everything is digital now.
'Work from home'.

'Work from home'
is risky for us.

Everyone is awake during midnight.
All of them are online.

They then sleep during the day.

- It's useless for us.
- That's true.

That's why I pick uninhabited
homes for robbery.

But it's thrilling for me
to rob a habited house.

You are an adventurous guy.

There's no adventure here.

Just an innocent mother
and her school girl.

Her husband is working in
the gulf and hence no risk.

- You're going that side, right?
- Yes.

I am going this side.
An American has gone for a vacation there.

There's no dog there.
So, it's safe.

- See you tomorrow after work then.
- Alright. Do well.

All the best.

[Phone rings] Shit!

My dear Shoshamma, haven't I asked you
not to call me during duty time?

Listen, it's our uncle's daughter-
Chinchumol's birthday today.

Did you wish?

Won't tomorrow morning do?

No, it's significant to
wish at midnight itself.

Please leave a
WhatsApp voice message.

Alright.

Our property deed is with him.
Don't forget that.

Alright, please cut the call.

Uncle...

Birthday wishes to Chinchumol
on mine and Shoshamma's behalf.

Kisses.

Kisses are for Chinchumol.

Uncle can give it to
her when you get time.

Mom.

Mom.

Yeah.

I may have heard some noise.

Keep quiet and sleep.

We should have returned our
gold to the bank locker.

It's at a safer place here,
than the locker.

Which is that safer place?

There's a container of rice in the store
room near our kitchen below, right?

Yeah.

I have immersed everything inside it.

Nobody in the world can
possibly discover that.

Mom, you're so smart.

Go to sleep then.

Goodness!

Oh, my God!

[screams in pain]

Yes dear.

Is it?

Oh, I see.

I am on a ride to the airport.

I shall drop them and
reach there soon.

You just inform Bobby sir too.

I have informed Bobby uncle.
Yeah, he will reach soon.

Alright.

Why do you need to
gather people around?

I made a mistake, and I am sorry.
Oh my God, this burns.

If you release me,
I will leave instantly.

I won't be in this
area after that.

Sister, can't you forgive me?

You can!

I will forgive you.

Let everyone reach here first.

Let them come.
I am in no rush.

I shall wait here.

You're still using this
hand grinder, is it?

It's good because it gives
the food a special flavor.

Hand grinders are
available in Amazon now.

There are plenty of 'offers' too.
I was going to order one for my wife.

But she needed a mixer
grinder instead.

I somehow got one last week.

You get all these stuffs
without spending anything.

Sister, I am a family man, right?

But both of you
bluffed me so smooth.

Sister, please don't create a scene.
I am an innocent guy.

- Where?
- In the work area.

Didn't you inform the police?

I thought I will inform them
after Bobbychayan reaches here.

No need of police sir.

We can sort this out
like gentlemen.

You're right.
Police isn't necessary.

I am enough for you.

You will rob the house where
there are no men, is it?

[screams in pain]

Sister, please call the police.
Police is better than this.

I will beat the
bones out of you.

Hand me the sanitizer.

Move aside dear.

- Bobby sir reached?
- Yeah.

- So, he's the guy?
- Yeah.

[Hindi] - Where did you come from?
- From there.

He's a Malayali.

Oh, I see.
Where are you from?

Moolankuzhi.

- Where in Moolankuzhi?
- Behind the prawn factory.

Behind the prawn factory?
What's your house name?

- Chembarathi...
- Chembarathi?

"Chembarathingal"

How are you related to Anthony
chettan of Chembarathingal?

I am his son.

- What's your name?
- Solomon, my church name is Shalomon.

- Incredible name you have.
- Do you know him?

I know his father.
He was working in the harbor.

How did that poor soul
possess such a wicked son?

So pathetic!

- It's my social situation uncle.
- What?

Social situations.

- I am going to kill you today.
- Bobbychaya, let us call the police

Social situations it seems!

Anyway, nothing harmful happened, right?
I will take care of him.

Don't take the risk.
He's going to be a headache.

- Let me try. Walk.
- Get moving.

Uncle, I didn't
take my tool kit.

- What?
- My toolkit.

Sir, can you please
take that bag?

Take it.

God bless you sister,
you are bold.

- You too.
- Get moving. Compliments it seems!

- Please drop me at the nearby bus stop.
- You're not going anywhere.

If I ask you to come and stay
at my house, you won't listen.

'An adventurous mother
and her daughter.'

Please don't say about
this to Mom now.

If I tell her this, she won't
let you stay here alone.

- Shall I make tea for you?
- Now? No need.

Appu, you have the mock test for
the entrance exam next week.

- Are you studying?
- Yeah, somewhat.

The exams in our coaching center are
not like the one in your schools.

It's going to be so
precise and definite.

I prepared the questions myself.

Uncle, why don't you give me
the question paper then?

Let me just flaunt.

If you come unprepared,
I will roast you badly, understood?

I shall leave then.
Lock the doors properly.

Don't call me at midnight again!

Appu.

Wake up.

- Wake up Appu.
- Yeah.

- Betty Aunty is here.
- Yeah fine.

She has brought a gift for you.

- What gift?
- Go and see!

Wow, so cute.

- Do you like it?
- Yeah.

When the next thief comes,
he will warn you.

Thank you, aunty.

What's its name?

You only name him.

- Cookie.
- Nice name.

I am leaving then.
I have got a meeting.

Had your breakfast?

I don't have time dear.
The workload is huge.

- Just wait for ten minutes.
- No, I am running out of time.

I am envious of you
sitting jobless at home.

Let's go.

Is this what I taught you?

Ma'am, we have modified it a bit
according to the situation.

I didn't choreograph this dance for you
to change it according to your wish.

Who made the changes?

Who did this?

It was Aparna who suggested
to make these changes.

She said that you will like it.

Are you more
experienced than me?

To design all the programs for the
youth festival, including this,

the principal has assigned me.

So, you better follow
what I teach.

Start the music.

Saw that? You have
to do like this.

Eyes and face should possess
expressions, understood?

Sorry ma'am, my face won't
possess such expressions.

- Aparna, what's this?
- Appu, wait.

Why are you early today?

Hello, cool down man.

Your period dates for this month
have approached, isn't it?

Yeah.

That's the reason for these
sudden bursts of irritation.

If you didn't like teacher's
choreography, you don't follow it.

But when you overreacted and walked
out, didn't your friends suffer?

Why don't you understand that?
You should have some tolerance.

Sorry Mom.

That's okay.
Patch it up tomorrow.

- That's how it is usually, right?
- Yeah.

Take a bath.

Let's go for a drive to
the grandma's place.

Is bathing necessary?

I won't let you enter
my car without bathing.

[Friendly chatter]

We are lucky that the
thief was a fool.

Otherwise, your 'Home alone' adventure
would have flopped big time.

Haven't I asked you to come and
stay here in the night at least?

Don't you know that
Nandettan doesn't like it?

And if I wish to come and stay there,
Bobby doesn't like it.

So, the problem is solved.
Nobody needs to shift anywhere.

If it were a flat, at least the apartment
security would have been there.

90 percent of the people here
still live in homes on the ground.

That security is
enough for us too.

That's not what I meant.

Either your husband should
come and stay with you here,

Or he should take his family
to Dubai and settle there.

Your 'workshop mechanic' husband
however can't possibly afford it.

Bobby!

I just expressed my concern
when I see her struggle like this.

We don't have any
struggles Bobbychaya.

The workshop mechanic is struggling enough
in Dubai so as not to make us struggle.

We're very happy.

The brother- sister fighting
has begun, has it?

Brothers all over the world express their
love by irritating their sisters.

- You also reiterate the same way.
- Correct.

Julie, please stay longer.
I just got a call from the hospital.

Two of my patients were directed to
the labor room, before I came here.

Get them delivered
fast and come back.

- Will you be late today?
- I will check and call.

Okay.

It's a good thing that
you brought the bag.

People still get furious if we don't
pack it in plastic bags.

Hello Nandetta.
Just give me a minute.

Please take this brother.

Hello.

What?

I can't hear you Nandetta.

Can you call me after
five minutes?

What happened?

- My daughter was here.
- Okay.

Appu!

What's this?

I moved the car a bit for
the auto to pass through.

Move aside!

Won't you get the license in a year?
Can't you wait till then?

Hi Nandetta...

I was in the market.
I couldn't hear anything.

Is it?

Alright Nandetta.
Will you call tonight?

Okay.

What's the matter Mom?

- Your Dad is coming.
- Nice.

Cookie.

Why aren't you happy
about Dad's arrival?

Who said that?
I am happy.

He lost his job.

- He won't go back again.
- Oh my God!

- Why are you worried about that?
- Nothing.

We must keep a check on our expenses.
You should be more careful Appu.

Will my pocket money
be scrapped too?

Perhaps.

What happened?

A few of my friends' fathers
behave like 'Hitler'.

Will my Dad also
end up like them?

I have no clue.
You better be nice to him.

It's a little strain to
mollycoddle one more person.

Is it?

Will he be a 'thorn'
in our freedom?

[Both laugh]

Close the door.

[Entrance Coaching Class]

What will be the
mass of an electron? Aparna?

[Aparna answers]

[Class continues]

It will come around...

Good morning, Sir.

The rules and manners here
aren't applicable to you, is it?

Was it deliberate not to ask
permission before entering the class?

- When I came, you were a little busy.
- Pardon?

When I came,
you were a little busy.

So, I thought it's better
not to disturb you.

It's been half an hour
since the class has begun.

Actually, I was ready for
the class much earlier.

But my bike had a
starting problem.

So, my Dad offered me to drop me here,
on his way to the court.

But my Dad got late.
Naturally, I also got late.

[Everyone laughs]

These excuses won't be valid when
your entrance results come out.

Also, this is your third attempt.
Don't forget that.

[Class continues]

- Got it?
- Yes Sir.

- All of you?
- Yes Sir.

Okay. So, we will
go for the next.

Oops!

- You only clean the board then.
- Me?

- Don't you know how to clean it?
- Yeah.

Okay I will.

- Sir, I have cleaned it up.
- Okay.

Where are you going?
Stay right here.

Attend the class from here.
You will be more focused then. Okay?

Now, let's solve
another problem.

To find out the kinetic energy
of an ejected electron, okay?

Got it?

Then, what does 'h' stand for?

What does 'h' stand for?

Is it 'height'?

Height?

Go and sit there.

No, it's okay.
From here, I can focus better.

That's enough.
Go and sit.

Once your Dad comes back,
your lonely adventures will end.

How was he in his childhood?
Was he innocent?

Innocent? I used to
beat him up regularly.

Was he that naughty?

He wasn't naughty.
He was stubborn.

If he wanted something,
he needed it then and there.

But he was very lazy
in his studies.

He had the consideration of being
a teacher's kid in the school.

He would just exploit that.

He just about cleared
his tenth standard.

That's why we directed him
to a vehicle workshop.

But he was smart enough to
win my Mom's heart over.

His humor sense is incredible.
That's how your Mom fell for him.

Eat it up fast and give
this to your grandfather.

If we wait for his consultation to end,
he may not have this coffee at all.

Extend your tongue.

Lift your hand.

- Come on. Lift a little more.
- It's a little difficult doctor.

- You should control your diet.
- Yeah.

Haven't you heard learned people say....

"You may eat everything
that you desire for...

But that doesn't mean,
you may eat the whole of it".

Doctor, the diet is
really controlled now.

How come your body
is like this then?

- Have your medicines on time, okay?
- Okay.

- Should I button it for you?
- No Doctor.

It looks like you got busier
after your retirement.

A few of my familiar patients still
visit me for consultation.

It's not possible to reject them.

Were there entrance, NEET
exams during your time too?

No, all the admissions those
days were purely based on merit.

Even though I had the marks to
join MBBS, I took up Ayurveda.

I am fed up with these
classes and coaching.

To be honest, I don't want to
become either a doctor or a collector.

But Bobby uncle is so persuasive.

He wants me to achieve all the degrees,
that my mother couldn't possibly get.

Doctor.

Greetings!

Look who's here.
Why are you alone?

To visit you, I don't need
anyone to accompany me anymore.

That stage is long gone.
All thanks to you.

- Who's this?
- She is my grandchild.

Listen dear.

Your grandfather
is a genius.

My children took me to a lot of
prestigious hospitals and doctors.

Not one of them could
cure my illness.

But he cured it.
He's such a legend.

You're able to sleep
well, right?

Of course, I have no issues now.

I can manage all
the home chores too.

That means, I am
completely fine now.

I wanted to thank you in person.
That's why I came here.

See, this is the best compliment
a doctor can ever get.

- I am not wasting your time anymore.
- Alright.

For being kind to helpless souls like us,
may God bless you abundantly.

Alright.

Also, if you can make calls to my
home occasionally and seek about me,

I will be happy.

You can call me too.

Doctor might be busy, right?
I don't want to disturb you.

If it's inconvenient for
you, then it's fine.

There's no inconvenience.

Please note down my number.

Dear, please note down the number.

There's country
code and all, is it?

222...222...

What did you just say?

- 222...222...
- Okay.

You write it down.

22....22...

00...00...

555...555...

99...99...

52527...72721...

Mom is here.
Come.

- Mom, please come with us.
- I don't want to come.

Sorry doctor, we have been
searching for her for a long time.

[Randomly rambling
the phone number]

Mom, please stay silent
and get into the car.

Let me finish saying the number.

- Genius!
- Shut up.

Is Dad going to sleep
in this room?

Not him.
You're going to sleep here.

Me? Why should I sleep here?

Why can't we all sleep
together in a single room?

Just ask your friends,

Whether they are all still sleeping
with their parents or not.

Such a fool.

- Are you asleep Mom?
- Yeah, I am asleep.

Why's Dad coming now?

What's your problem?

I just need my Mom.

The problem is that her friends are
with her all the time.

If I propose her now,
will they tease me?

For sure, they will tease you.

This guy has amazing dedication.
He is still checking you out.

The guy standing next
to him looks good.

Yeah, he has nice hair.

- Oh shit! Are they still looking at me?
- Yes.

- Is it?
- Yes.

Every one of them needs just me.

- The one stalking you is an idiot, right?
- Yeah.

Yes Mom... Reached? When?
Yeah, I am coming.

So, I am going, bye.
Please pay mine too.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Didn't I tell you?
She can't resist when she sees me.

- You please move away.
- What?

- We need some privacy. Please.
- Okay.

Dear...

I don't know how to begin.

Aparna, don't leave.
I haven't begun yet.

- Hey...
- Yeah?

- What happened?
- She said that we'll meet in the evening.

Okay.

What's this Appu?

I was expecting Dad
to open the door.

Why are you late?
Dad was waiting for you till now.

He wanted to surprise you
when you come from school.

Only when you started
getting late, I called you.

Where's he then?

He just got out now.

He might be there at
Lorens Uncle's house.

Break it into smaller logs.

Only then, we can use them
in the cooking stove.

Ok uncle.

- Hi honey.
- Hi darling.

Hi...

Haven't you finished this yet?
You must clean the water tank after this.

I will do that for some time then.
I am bored of this.

That's fine.
You finish this first.

Let him finish this first.
Tank is here only.

It's up to you.

You need to pluck a few coconuts from
the coconut tree on the backyard.

Before you do that,
clean my car as well.

Finish this first.

You haven't let him go yet?

He is my "genie" now.

He does all kinds of work.
Otherwise, he is going to the jail.

Also, gas cylinders
are expensive now.

Did my Dad come here?

He came here.
But we couldn't talk much.

Madhavan Kutti Menon
came and took him along.

- He will be there.
- Alright.

You have got better at this.

Damn.

Dad.

Appu.

Oh goodness.

Have you come from Dubai
to repair this vehicle?

Menon Sir was a regular
client in my old workshop.

It seems, this vehicle has been
out of order for five months now.

Have you come in
search of your Dad?

Have this.

- Shall I take juice for you too?
- No thank you.

- She will have this.
- No, you have it.

- Have it.
- I don't need it.

- Sir, please start the vehicle.
- Okay.

Hold this.

Is it okay now?

I knew you could
easily repair this.

An outside mechanic will
prove to be expensive, right?

- Shall I push off?
- Alright.

Come.

You didn't take
bath today, right?

[Both laugh]

Oh my God!

It looks like the whole of
Kerala is on the table.

That's because this is the first day.
Don't expect this every day.

What happened?

No nothing, I just got
reminded of my 'Khuboos'.

If you are that sad about Khuboos,

we can get that from our
nearby supermarket.

From tomorrow, we can make Khuboos
and curd to be our dinner.

I fondly remember the delicacy of your
cooking and somehow eat that Khuboos there.

What's this?

You should not drink water
along with the food.

It badly affects our diet.
Either one hour before, or one hour later.

We should have liquid
only like that.

There should be discipline
in everything we do.

- But Dad...
- Yes...

How about those having
soup and starch water?

Won't they have this
liquid problem?

That's soup and starch water.
This is rice.

That's the difference.
Do you understand now?

Yeah, I understood.
Do you understand, Mom?

I understood.

How many grains of rice
have you wasted here?

It's said that every grain has the name
of the person eating it engraved on it.

You should respect the food.

Sorry Dad, I will be more
careful from hereon.

Okay.

P G Nandakumar - this grain has
your name engraved on it.

Brilliant!

Do you have tissue Julie?

You can forget the
tissue and Khuboos now.

There's a little one
roaming around here.

Let her comprehend the love
her Dad has for her mother.

There are a lot of mosquitoes here.
There isn't any in Dubai.

All the mosquitoes in Dubai
have landed here, right?

It's very peaceful to sit here.

Have a little sweet too then.
Pudding it is.

Appu has a great sense of humor.
It shows a healthy mind.

Healthy mind is questionable.

At times for her tantrums,
I really wish to slap her.

It's difficult to handle
a teenager alone.

To manage her, you need
to be her best friend.

If you behave like a 'headmaster'
instead, kids will turn rebels.

You managed it well till now.

I wasn't lucky enough to witness her
mischief or any other happy moments.

She will provide you a
lot of such moments.

There's a lot of time for that.

Since you have decided to settle
down here, what's the plan?

We have to find an
earning, right?

Don't worry about that.

We have lived honorably
so far, right?

It will be like that
in the future too.

The practical experience and the professionalism
that I have achieved from abroad,

will be put into use precisely.

I have planned some projects too
before boarding the flight.

We will think about that later.

For the last 10 -15 years, there's a
life that we were unable to have...

We're going to start that now.

- Are you scared to sleep alone?
- Yeah.

Come.

Here's your bright
and brilliant girl.

Sleep.

We can start the life tomorrow.

- Do you have pain here?
- A little.

- How about here?
- A little.

Sit straight then.

- Does he eat well?
- He doesn't eat much doctor.

Leave it alone Nanda.

It's almost 5 to 8 years old.
Your Dad has decided to buy a new one.

Only expats had this habit of disposing
the things that got damaged,

and buy new ones instead.

If you give it for repair,
it will cost more than a new one.

The mechanic is here now.
Let me try.

Okay.

I have changed the medicines a bit.
Have them on time.

Okay.

Always remain positive and
keep your spirits high.

Okay doctor.

- Wow, this is working now, is it?
- Yeah.

So, this will live for some more time.
Like me.

You're in top condition Dad.

A lot of patients
and lots of money.

I have enough money.

But both of us have planned
a world tour with it.

Oh, I see.
You've such plans in your old age, is it?

Yeah, there is a plan like that.

There are parents who force their kids
to take care of them in their old age.

We don't belong to that type.

We need neither your money,
nor your protection.

Kids should take care of their affairs.
Please don't disturb us.

How's that possible?

It's a father's duty to
take care of his kids.

Just because you have turned old,
there's no relaxation to that.

Oh, I see.

Since you've decided
not to relax one bit,

I can relax a bit.

No problem, you may relax.
Are you free today?

From now on, I am fully free.

I got a call from Madhavan Namboothiri.
He's sick.

- Let's go there.
- Okay.

What's your actual plan now?

I would like to
start a business.

Is it a workshop? Like before?

No, that's not ideal anymore.

I would like to start a unit of
organic curry powder.

Let's see.

I do the world tour through
the 'safari' channel already.

I can also raise some money.

You're my strength Dad.
I don't need money Dad.

You just be with me always,
healthy and energetic.

You don't need tobacco, right?

What's the point
without tobacco?

To have the full effect of chewing
betel leaves, tobacco is essential.

Okay.

Please take this inside.

If the doctor sees this,
then we will be in trouble.

Go inside.
Make it fast.

You said that you aren't well.
You seem to be fine.

Only if I say I am sick,
you will come here.

You seem to have not lost
the art of bluffing people.

I wanted to see you.
Also, I have a few inconveniences too.

Weren't you in Dubai?

I came back.
From now on, I will be here only.

That's good.
You can support your Dad too.

What's your problem now?

I have indigestion issues.
Also, appetite is less.

Urine is slightly yellowish too.

- Let me see.
- Okay.

Okay.

- Nanda...
- Yes.

In the northern part of the compound,
there will be 'gale of the wind' plant.

Pluck 'Punarnava' too.

Is 'Punarnava' necessary?

'Gale of the wind' doesn't
allow that or what?

[Nandan laughs].

The main problem
is not that now.

Then what's the problem?

- My grandkids had come from Calcutta.
- Okay.

When they were playing,

- I took the bat and gave a few hits.
- Okay.

On my third attempt,
I felt something in the back.

It's very painful and
I can't even move it.

- There's no shortage of mischief then.
- [Namboothiri laughs].

Just stand up.

- [Namboothiri groans in pain].
- Like that.

Isn't this a mechanical injury?
This 'mechanic' is enough for this.

Nanda...Please check.

Can he do it?

- He was with me for a long time.
- Okay.

- Sir?
- Yeah.

- You said the pain is here, right?
- Yeah.

- Stay like that.
- Okay.

Oh my God!

- How's it now?
- I am fine now.

- Is it?
- Yeah.

The 'mechanic' is good.

[Everyone laughs]

- This mill was in great working condition.
- Okay.

The competition was huge
and we couldn't keep up.

So, I had to give up.

The machines are still in
working condition, right?

Of course, when the demand was high,
the machines were running 24 hours.

There is no problem at all.
Full guarantee in that.

I don't come here often.

Ramankutty presided
over the entire unit.

He has two saw mills too.
He devotes his entire attention there.

That's how we had to close this.

But because of that, I suffered.

I had been working
here for 30 years.

I won't get sleep if I don't get the smell
of coriander powder and chili powder here.

Ramankutty is also in
great working condition.

If you are buying this,
take him along too, for free.

Come.

The packing machines
are on the other side.

I will show you.

It's been only 5 years since
we had installed this.

- Okay.
- We maintain it well too.

Alright.

Listen, did you come from Dubai
to run this powder mill?

My uber is better than this.

Lorens, it's not going to
be like what you see here.

Once we take it up,
things will change.

It will be a lot more pleasant.

In my mind, the machines here
are up and running already.

- Go inside.
- Please.

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday dear Ammachi,

Happy birthday to you.

[chatter]

Tomorrow's duty should
be covered properly.

Yes Sir.

The full strength should
be assembled on time.

Yes Sir.

If there's anything else,
I should be informed.

Yes Sir.

Can you come soon?
It's time to give this gift to Ammachi.

- You carry on.
- Yes sir.

A gift to Ammachi, from our side.

Italian massage chair.

Wow great.

You don't need to
exercise daily anymore.

Just sit on this chair
for fifteen minutes.

It gives full body massage.

You knee problems
will vanish soon.

This is our gift to Ammachi.

Isn't it time to
change your specs?

From now onwards, use this.

When I was studying in Maharaja's
college, I had a friend there.

Every Sunday, he used to wake up
early, take bath and get ready.

Then he finds the auditoriums in
Ernakulam, where grand weddings were held.

He would have the sumptuous
meal there, blesses the couple,

and even hands them a gift
before leaving the hall.

Only when they open the gift in the
evening, they would realize the truth.

It might be some
frivolous stuffs.

[Everyone laughs]

When I gave the gift,
you remembered this story, right?

I remember him whenever I see
someone gifting something.

Okay.

I think he's now in Canada
or USA or something.

Let's have dinner then.

Yes, for sure.
Come Nandan.

Come Ammachi.

Ammachi may sit here.

- Aren't you having dinner?
- Yeah, one second.

- You also sit.
- Yeah, I will sit.

Give me a plate.

Hello.

The phone was in silent mode.
I didn't realize it.

When?

Oh my God.

We will be there soon.

What happened?

Lorens's wife got burnt
in the kitchen.

Oh my God.

Come, let's go.

They will manage it.
Have your dinner and leave.

We will eat later.

Come Appu.

All of you have your dinner.
I am sorry.

Poor soul.

She burnt Lorens's
wife for nothing.

He remembered his old 'fraud'
friend when he saw my gift.

If I had stayed there longer, I would
have to hear more of his boasting.

It's not like we were
desperate for the food there.

Your Mom is very smart.

Even though Bobby says all
those, he is a good person.

Since the smartness in her reacted like
this, I lost a nice Christian feast.

This is fresher than that.
Also, it tastes great too.

Exactly.

As usual, mother- daughter
is one team now and I am out.

Excuse me, where can I find the
'Pravasi' masala powder?

Sir, the masala powders
are in that section.

There? I need that specific brand.
Pravasi masala.

It's very good.

- Let me check then.
- Okay.

The listed stock should
be lined up in front.

Excuse me, where can I find the
'Pravasi' masala powder?

Pravasi?

It's new to the market.

I have used it and felt
it to be original.

So, I prefer that.

Sir, here it is.

Oh yes.
This is it.

Oh this? First time, I am hearing
good things about this.

Sir, you should buy this
and use it in your home.

Pravasi masala powder is
the best among the lot.

- Oh, is it?
- Thank you.

Okay.

Where's the manager?

- He's there.
- Okay.

Sorry, I wasn't careful enough.

You should be careful then.

Okay, sorry.

Bloody stranger.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

I had kept some of my
products here last month.

I would like to get the
payment for the same.

What is your product?

Sir, you haven't
recognized me yet.

I am Nandan -
Pravasi curry powder's...

Yeah, alright.

In the last one month,
one piece got sold, that too today.

That's not possible.
We are receiving great feedbacks.

But people need to
buy them first.

You should give good publicity.
The competition is very strong.

All the other products
are adulterated.

Sawdust in Coriander powder.

Brick powder in Chili powder.

My product is entirely organic.

But we don't necessarily
need organic products.

You may add sawdust, brick powder
or any adulterant you wish.

But people should buy it.

We can't make the payment
without selling them.

Here you go.
My marketing proof for the day.

Also, I present it nicely to the
passengers boarding my car.

How's that?

I begin with the
normal pleasantries.

Gradually, I will land the discussion
on Pravasi curry powder.

Lorens, it's a humongous market.

Your small techniques
won't be enough there.

Don't discourage me man.

Let me do my bit.

It won't matter much.

Please have it.

It's not fair that Nandan
is having this orange juice.

Especially when we
sit for a drink.

There is some exquisite wine.
Shall I take it?

- No, this will do.
- Okay.

The manager in the supermarket says
that we should give good publicity.

If someone whom the
public trusts well,

explains about our product,
I think that will work.

Exactly, like celebrities,
film actors...

I don't have the budget to do
publicity with the film people.

Isn't Sreenivasan, the film actor,
a staunch supporter of organic food?

Right, why don't we try that?

That's a possibility.

Besides, when he had come for Pravasi
association program in Ajman before,

I was the one who
welcomed him then.

He might not have
forgotten that.

Good morning sir.

Good morning.

I am Nandan. Nandakumar.
I was working in the gulf.

Do you recognize me?

10 years ago, you had come
for a function in Ajman.

I was the one who welcomed you.

Do you remember me now?

Oh, how can I forget a person who welcomed
me in some function, 10 years ago?

I was thinking about you
today morning too, at 9:30 a.m.

I mean, I have left
gulf for good.

I have started a business here-
of the organic curry powder.

Aren't you an
ambassador of that?

I don't endorse anything.

I just wish that people get to eat
unadulterated food.

That's my intention too.

Take a look at this.
It's 100 percent organic.

If you have any doubts, you can take this to
the laboratory in NASA and get it tested.

- Where?
- NASA laboratory in America.

Nandan, do one thing then...

Take these powders to the NASA,
get them tested and bring back the results.

Sir, I meant...It's very authentic.

Pravasi- apt name
for masala powder.

Isn't it better than the 'Dakshayani'
biscuit in the film Midhunam, Sir?

Yeah.

I was very active in the
Pravasi association.

Hence, many people address
me 'Pravasi Nandan' too.

That's also a reason
for giving that name.

Nice.

I am keeping all these here.

Please request your wife to use them and
give me feedback when I come again.

- No need of all these.
- Let it be there.

I am not wasting
your time anymore.

- You may resume the writing.
- Okay.

- Did you click this picture?
- Yeah.

From what you've said,
this smile is special.

Yeah, it's special, right?

Even I thought so.

But considering the exaggeration
you normally possess,

This is a normal smile.

Girls have a natural ability
to pose candidly in photos.

No.

With the help of my associates,
I spied on her group.

And?

Apparently, she has once said,
"Rohit is very funny."

- Really?
- Yeah.

Despite that, if she has removed
me from Instagram, it says a lot.

It just meant one thing- 'cut'

Give it to me.
Enough.

I don't need a sister's
support in this.

We will elope.

Elope it seems.
You will be out of this house then.

That will be alright,
when we have kids.

[Both laugh]

May your Dad also
know the joke?

Has the legal age for marriage
been reduced now Dad?

For whom? You or him?

She has found someone Dad.

She's saying that she
will elope with him.

The restlessness to
answer quickly is proof enough.

You're the culprit.

That's it.

First you clear
your entrance exam.

If she starts being a little soft
to me, I will latch on to it.

She knows it well.

That's why she's still
staying 'out of coverage'.

Come on...
Pass pass pass...

Pass the ball.

[chatter]

Pass the ball.

Hi, can you come a
little forward?

I am not a moron.

What?

I mean, I am not a moron.

My Dad is a busy advocate
in the High court.

Even though Mom is a homemaker,
she has completed B.Ed.

I have one elder sister.
She will be a doctor in two years.

Why are you saying
all these to me?

I was just describing
my family details.

Since I am from such a family, even
if I try, I can never be a moron.

I swear, it's a fact.

Sister, can you please
move a little?

Sister, you too.

Aparna, please don't move.

Since your uncle is there in the coaching
centre, I can't talk to you from there.

Since I have completed my plus- 2 three
years back, school isn't safe either.

I can get caught anytime.

Besides, these people will
believe that I am an ogler.

However hard I try,
I can never be that.

- Hey.
- Yeah.

Are you studying
in this school?

I told you know.
They caught me.

No Sir, I was around.
So I just got in.

- Get going then.
- Okay.

All the girls come down.

Girls, go fast.
Speed up.

Aparna, can you add
me in Instagram?

I will think about it.

Okay, that will do.

- Get out.
- Yeah, I am leaving.

Just remove the grass.

Don't disturb the stems
of the Chinese potato.

Okay.

Good morning sir.

Got into the garden so
early in the morning?

I was planning to call you.

You don't need to test
them in NASA laboratories.

The turmeric powder, chili powder
every one of them is top class.

It had a homemade feeling.

Even my wife, Vimala,
liked it so much.

It's God's blessing to receive
such a comment from you.

Don't credit God for that.
It's the result of your sincerity.

Completely unadulterated
masala powder.

That's what I felt.

Sir, can you repeat this
on the phone camera?

My wife and factory workers
will be so delighted.

- Is that necessary?
- Please sir.

We, Malayalis, have been eating
poison, instead of food for years.

Mostly, they import this poison from Andra,
Karnataka and Tamil Nadu and force feed us.

The significance of Nandan's
Pravasi Masala powder lies there.

I am saying this only after using it and
is completely convinced about its quality.

I wish that the Pravasi workers can retain
the same honesty in their business.

Great, this is the
advertisement we need.

But there's no point if you
keep that video on your phone.

People should watch it.

When someone of Sreenivasan's
stature speaks with such sincerity,

People may get excited.

They will come in search
of Pravasi curry powder.

That's right.

If we do that,
there will be an uplift.

What should I do now?

Leave it to me man.

This video should run all
over the social media.

- Digital marketing is the trend now.
- Okay.

We need to edit this video
and make it 'viral'.

I will take care of it.

It's an enquiry from a
supermarket group in Dubai.

They have around 30 outlets.

The purchase manager is
an old friend of mine.

If an outlet can sell 5 pieces a day,
150 pieces will be sold every day.

If people start recognizing
the quality of our product,

the narrative will change.

May the narrative change.

Let Pravasi Nandan become
a big shot industrialist.

The guava is good.
Did you give it to Appu?

I will give it to her.

Come then.

Cookie.
Cookie.

Don't bite me.

Appu.

Have some of these.

What's this?

Why are you playing with
it on the dining table?

We eat from here, right?

I will remove it by then.

It's biting the banana.
Take it away.

Haven't I told you not to
bring it inside the house?

Dad, isn't it a
living being like us?

Like us? It's a puppy.

The cage is built outside,
especially for it.

Yesterday, it was lying on the sofa
and its fur was all over the place.

Also, a pungent smell.

Dear, please take it
to the cage outside.

And wash your hands
and body with soap.

Go, make it fast.

Yeah, take it and go.

Good girl.

She is very obedient.

Hey. Wait. What's this?

Why are you going upstairs?

I will take it to my
room and play with it.

Appu, why are you so stubborn?

Take it to the cage.

Appu, take it to the cage.

Listen to what your Dad says.

- Go.
- This is sad.

Yuck.

[Indistinct chatter in a
film shooting spot]

Hey Sethu.

How do you do?

What? Advertisement?

I haven't acted in
any advertisement.

No, that was not meant
for an advertisement.

Let the video go 'viral'.
I don't care about that.

Sethu, do one thing...

Forward that to my
WhatsApp number

After the 'Sreenivasan' video,
there is a definite upsurge.

Let there be further upsurge.

- We should increase our production.
- Yeah.

Oh my God, Sreenivasan sir...

Sir, I was just
talking about you.

Today evening?

Oh yes, I am totally free.

Alright.

[Malayalam Song] "Blossomed are the
coral jasmine, long into the blue sky"

[Malayalam Song] "The hour of purity
when the feathers of love have smiled"

He just called to see you.

He is not offering you a
role in a film, right?

You never know.

He has just invited me to his
home in the evening.

Anyway, he has genuinely felt
some attachment to me.

You know, grand tales of great
friendship begin like this.

Sreenivasan is the only celebrity
from the film industry,

whom I wanted to meet in person.

Then you also come.

Not just you,
let Appu also come.

He might not like it.
You go and meet him.

Sreeniavsan is a completely different
person to what we see on screen.

He is extremely friendly.
Get ready.

Why are you taking
all these plants?

Those people interested in organic
farming, like getting stuffs like these.

- You drive the car.
- No need, you only drive.

See, that's your Dad's ego.

The false pride is due to the fact
that my family gifted me this car.

Not at all.

My Indian license got expired.

Besides, if you want to transfer
the Dubai license to India,

There are a lot of formalities
in the RT office.

I am just waiting to get
some free time to do that.

I don't have any ego otherwise.

Yeah, you wait and see Appu.

Until he buys his own car,
he won't renew his license.

You drive.

- Greetings sir.
- Yeah.

You may receive a
legal notice soon.

I called to inform you that.

Goodness, what happened sir?

Who gave you permission to
misuse my personal statement?

and use it as an advertisement
for the masala powder?

Sir, I didn't advertise it.

I just shared it among my
family and friends' groups.

You can say all
that in the court.

I am going to file a
cheating case against you.

As per IPC 420, you may receive
imprisonment for 3 to 7 years.

Add the cyber crimes along with it,
you may get another two years.

Then you can process your
masala powder inside the jail.

Sorry Sir, I will
delete it now itself.

I was not aware of all these.
Sorry.

- Sir, they are my wife and daughter.
- Okay.

Both of them like you so much.
So, I took them along.

- I may delete this now.
- Alright.

We were friends
in Ajman earlier.

Hence, I was just
pulling his leg.

Goodness, I got really scared.

Hello Hello. Hello Lorens.

The line got disconnected.

When I get him on phone,
I will delete it within five minutes.

There's no need to
delete it anymore.

Everyone has seen it already.

But never compromise
on the quality.

That will never happen Sir.

Pravasi won't produce a
single adulterated product.

- That's enough.
- Okay.

Sir, can we have a selfie?

- Sure.
- Come.

Let's take a selfie and have
some coffee too before you leave.

- These are a few saplings of pepper.
- Okay.

Is Nandan not a part
of this family?

Yeah.

It will be over soon.

- Nothing to worry.
- Okay.

- It's done. Good.
- Okay.

- Thank you doctor.
- Okay, Welcome.

Come dear.

- Get in here.
- Come dear. Come.

You lost your job
in Dubai, right?

I didn't lose it.
I left it.

Oh okay.

- Is Vaccination done for Cookie?
- Your Dad has taken it to the clinic.

- Didn't he take the car?
- He won't take that car, you know.

Sad.

Where is Cookie?

Here it is.

Where did it go?

Did you throw it away?

What? It was here only.

Where did it go then?

I had stopped at the junction
to give directions for a car.

It might have jumped out then.
I will bring it back soon.

Don't stare at me.
I will bring it back for sure.

Get changed.
It won't be lost.

Auto?

Auto?

Auto? Auto?

[Nandan makes noises]

[Nandan whistles]

Hello, is it Pink Police?

Appu, eat something.

If you don't eat anything,
will you get 'Cookie' back?

I was a little careless.

I am sorry.

It's just a puppy, right?
We can buy a better one.

If you lose me, will you buy
someone else and give to Mom?

Are you like a puppy to us?

Cookie is as important
to me as I am to you.

You don't get it.

Nonsense.

It was an innocent
mistake darling.

I am sure that he
purposefully did it.

He used to say that he would
throw it away, right?

When he got an opportunity,
he just did that.

Oh God, why did I take it out
now for the vaccination?

Julie, I just stopped for two minutes
to give directions for a car.

Who would expect it
to jump out by then?

Why did you take the scooter?
Wasn't there a car here?

You won't take it. Ego.
It's Mom's property know?

Stop it. You have been
blabbering for some time now.

I am already running around,
trying to meet ends.

In between that, her
obsession for her puppy.

I don't like it.
Miserable being.

I threw it away.

- Yeah, just admit it.
- Yeah, I agree.

Please stop this.

I was about to share
a happy news.

I wanted to make it a surprise,
in everyone's presence.

That's when both of you are
fighting like wild animals.

I am not saying it anymore.

What's the matter, Julie?

If something makes you happy,
it should delight me too, right?

I got a memorandum from the PSC
today, to join for the job.

You should have told this first.
Where's the posting?

Wayanad. In the collectorate.

- But I am not going.
- Why's that?

If you both are fighting like this,
even in my presence,

how can I possibly go
leaving you two here?

- That's just a...
- I have decided that I am not going.

It was my biggest dream
to get a government job.

It was a proud moment to prove to my
family that my choice of life is correct.

Probably, I am not
destined for that.

Julie.

Is my silly fight with Appu a
reason for you to give up your job?

You were humiliated a lot, just because
you eloped with a workshop mechanic.

This appointment is a last chance in the
PSC rank list and it's like a lottery.

This is an answer to all those.

It's not just that Nandetta.

All the while, how many
days have we lived together?

If not now, when are
we going to do it?

More than the job, I value
the security we have now.

I value our small
world the most.

That's enough for me.

That's true.

Don't see this job
as an extra income.

It's the result
of your hard work.

It's your pride.

The only issue is that the
job posting is a little far, right?

But if you get transferred here,
the problem will be solved.

Come what may, I won't allow
you to let this job slip away.

[Bus annoucement]

I am rich enough to hire a taxi.
It's still not late.

Why do you need a taxi when there
is only one person travelling?

Besides, this is safer.

Still, such a long route
and you're all alone.

Appu has exams, right?

As and when I reach there, Xavier uncle
and Aunty will be at the bus station.

Don't worry about that.

If your Dad fights with you, just pick up
your phone and leave a voice note to me.

Even if I am far, I am still
capable of handling your Dad.

In the name of the father,
the son and holy spirit,

Amen.

Let's pray.

Dear God, the most
powerful and benevolent.

Bless us with the
bountiful life.

Dear God, by dissolving the holy
spirit within you,

The one who rules and
lives as the God,

Through Jesus, the son of
God and our lord,

Please accept our prayers
that we present before you.

Amen.

Our father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.

May your kingdom come...

May your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins, as we forgive
those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation.

Mom, I called you
a lot of times.

Appu, I can't even breathe properly,
forget picking up the phone.

There's no office time as such.
At times I work till dusk.

Weren't you saying that Wayanad is
such a serene place?

Yeah, 'serene' it seems.
I can't even get to see the sky here.

Time ticks like the clock that's
attached to the time-bomb.

We can't relax one bit here, like you
normally associate with a government office.

Enjoy your dream, Mom.

Yeah. Who will drop you
home after the prayer?

Dad said that he will
come and pick me.

- He won't eat from there.
- Madam.

But he won't have any apathy
towards Christian food.

Ask Grandma to pack some
food for your Dad too.

Grandma has already
planned that.

Will you call me at night?

Yeah, I will call you.

- Juliet...
- Yes Sir.

Every one of us here
has a mobile phone.

But we don't use it
during the office time.

- Sorry sir.
- Yeah.

Listen.

Better be texting
on your phone.

He will be noticing you,
only if you make calls.

Hey....Hi...

Didn't they understand?

With these prayers and
other Christian rituals,

Will your Mom's family
finally baptize you?

The deal between you two is to let me decide,
once I reach 18 years, isn't it?

So let me decide then, whether
to be a Hindu or a Christian?

That's correct.

But from my observation so far,

Christian rituals are
classy and elegant.

Goodness, our rituals are
much more beautiful.

Once you take bath, apply bindi, light the
lamp and stand in front of Guruvayurappan,

The peace and happiness that you get,
when you pray to him, is indescribable.

Oh Lord!

What an act of canvassing!

For that, you need
to bath first.

Please make a special tea now.
Let me test your skills.

There won't be any specialty when
someone who doesn't bath makes tea.

So, make it yourself.

Lazy fellow.

I have a lot to study and write.

When will I complete all
these, Oh my Jesus!

- I am sorry Dad.
- It's okay.

- Dairy milk.
- Okay.

Have you changed
the phone pattern?

Why?

I want to call a friend.

She blocked my
number, unknowingly.

- Make the call through WhatsApp then.
- I am blocked there too.

- Instagram?
- There too.

- Understood. The 'other' girl.
- Yeah.

Shameless fellow!. Don't go behind
someone when you are blocked.

- There's no enmity here.
- Really?

When we were chatting,
I unknowingly said 'I love you'.

- Unknowingly? 'I Love you'?
- Yes.

- Tell me the number.
- 9895133776.

What's this?
Say it slower.

98..95..13..37..76

Have this.
Come.

Come...come...

Have it.

Hello.

Hi Aparna.

I am Sangeetha,
your huge fanboy - Rohit's sister.

Please don't cut the call.
I will give the phone to him.

I promise that he
won't go overboard.

- Keep decorum.
- Okay.

Hello.

You're getting the
family involved, is it?

When you blocked me,
I felt so helpless.

So, to solve that...

Don't waste your time, Rohit.

I am a little old school.

Old School?

Yeah, this is a waste of time.

When it's the right time,

my parents will consider my tastes
and give me a lot of options.

Then I will pick the best from them.
Pretty simple, right?

What if I am better
than the best?

My parents also should
feel that, right?

Alright. Today onwards, my efforts
to impress them have begun.

If you need to impress my Mom,
you might have to go Wayanad.

My Dad is here.

Superficially, he may
appear like a soft person.

But he is a tough person.

We can soften him.

I will be that special son in law that
any father-in-law will dream to have.

Okay Son in law, carry on.
I have a little work here.

Please don't cut the call.

I may not get my
sister's phone always.

She's a little arrogant.

So please, can you unblock me?

Let me think about it.

Yeah, it's better now.

I didn't expect such a fast
growth in very little time.

Malayalees always recognize
the good ones, Sir.

- We just have to be a little patient.
- Hey Nandan...

Do you have Pravasi
coriander powder?

Hey...

- I had communicated to Arun.
- Okay.

Once I get a little free time,
I will come and visit you.

- Alright Nandan, see you.
- Okay.

Where can you find the
Pravasi chili powder?

Yes Rametta.
They left?

Why can't they
wait till I reach there?

Yeah, it's okay.
Let them go.

Shift Murali from dispatch
to the packing section.

Okay.

Ungrateful fellows.

What happened Sir?

Without any notification, a worker in
the factory just disappeared like that.

People nearby were employed in the
hope that it would benefit them.

But nobody is sincere enough.

- We mostly employ outsiders here.
- That's good actually.

If any Bengalis or Biharis
come here in search of a job,

- Please direct them to my place.
- Okay.

Sir, here's the pravasi product
you asked for.

Pravasi? Which Pravasi?
I didn't ask for it.

Keep it there itself.

- Akshaya Supermarket?
- Irumbpalam.

- Irumbpalam?
- Alappuzha.

Alappuzha.

Where are they-
Rajiv and Suraj?

Both are on leave today.

Apparently, it's their friend's
sister's wedding today.

So, the load to Alappuzha
won't go today also.

Why can't we employ people who don't
have these kinds of friends and sisters?

I was going to tell you that.

A Bengali guy is waiting
outside, in search of a job.

- How's he?
- Looks good.

- Okay, how is your Hindi?
- My Hindi is poor.

Even my Hindi is poor.
Anyway, call him.

There's a guy standing outside.
Call him inside.

[Bengali theme music]

[Bengali theme music]

He's the owner of this place.

- Greetings Sirji.
- Yeah okay.

- Please give me your blessings.
- No need of that.

[Broken Hindi] What's ...my name?

[Hindi] My name? Rabindra.
Rabindra Chadopadhyaya.

[Hindi] There's a
lot of work here.

[Hindi] Yes Sir, not a problem.

- [Hindi] - I... You...
- What?

- How do you say it?
- What?

I know a little bit
of Malayalam Sir.

So please don't worry.

Oh, that's nice.

You don't look like a
laborer at all.

Actually, I am a student.

- My ambition is to become a doctor.
- I see.

I am repeating the
medical entrance now.

[Hindi] My father works
as a security in a shop.

[Hindi] He has
very little money.

To pay the fees and all.
So, I badly need a job Sir.

Good. Very good.

- I have many further dreams sir.
- What are they?

After completing the MBBS,
I would like to crack Civil Service.

Your dreams are ambitious.

I have even bigger
dreams than these Sir.

What are those 'bigger' dreams?

I will reveal that to you
once I crack MBBS and IAS.

Yeah, let the MBBS and
IAS dreams happen.

If you are dishonest
in your work here,

you will regain consciousness only after
reaching Bengal back. Understand?

- Understood Sir.
- Yeah good.

- What's your name again?
- Rabindra. Rabindra Chadopadhyaya.

Please show the work here
to Mr.Chadopadhyaya.

- [Tamil] Come with me boy.
- What? Tamil?

For anyone who doesn't know Malayalam,
Tamil is the best medium of language.

- Okay.
- [Tamil] Come boy.

Wait a minute.

- Now you may leave.
- Okay

Come.

- [Tamil] Listen...
- Yeah...

- [Tamil] First you must pack all these.
- [Hindi] Ok Sir.

Are you studying and
sleeping together?

I fell asleep involuntarily.

Have the juice.
You will feel better.

We should go for an
India tour next year.

- Where?
- Not to any tourist place.

To understand how students in
different places are toiling hard,

to earn their living and education.

Today, a Bengali guy joined
for work in the factory.

Not just to earn a
living for his family,

His ambition is to
become a doctor.

He works hard and earns the
expenses for the same.

If you give me pocket money,
I will also work after my class.

This is funny for you.

My eyes almost welled up when
I heard some of his stories.

He wants to try civil service
after completing the MBBS.

He studies in the middle of
turmeric powder and chili powder,

in the limited time
he gets between work.

Desires are the biggest
ambitions of human beings.

From his face, one can safely predict
that he will conquer places.

[Bengali theme music]

- What's his name?
- Rabindra Chadopadhyaya.

He hails from Tagore's place, right?
Might have been named after him.

He has that positivity.

Have your drink and then study.

Why are you coughing and
sneezing all of a sudden?

I don't know.

It might be the stress of
the entrance preparation.

Yeah. After this,
have this dried ginger coffee.

Okay. I will have that.

- Go to bed early tonight.
- Okay.

Hello.

[Bengali] How are you?

What?

[Bengali] How are you?

Doesn't Mr. Chathopadhyaya
understand Bengali?

Yeah, I understood.
I have been sneezing since noon.

At least learn enough Bengali to scream
out loud, when you get beaten up.

Nothing like that.
Father-in-law is a very nice person.

I have powdered tons
of love for him today.

So, do you intend to live
as a Bengali from here on?

For a while.

There will be a moment when he wishes
'what if this boy was a Malayali'.

I will reveal the truth then.

Most probably, that will
be your last moment too.

Don't try to scare me.
Chathopadhyaya won't falter one bit.

Sorry. I just sneezed.

Alright. If you remain alive,
see you again. Goodnight.

- Rametta...
- Yes...

Please check the packing section.
I will handle this.

- Please tighten both the nuts.
- Sure.

Sir.
Have some water.

Okay.

- Alright?
- Yeah fine.

- May I come in Sir?
- Yes.

You're late today too.

- [Hindi] I had a lot of work.
- [Everyone laughs]

- What?
- I had some work in the house, Sir.

Okay, let's continue.

Given, the mass of the planet is
three times the mass of the Earth.

Hey, Silence.

If you come in, I shall make a
special 'Dubai' tea for you.

Have the 'Dubai' tea yourself.
I have a cab booking.

See you at night.

At least take a break
in one of the Sundays.

I took the entire last week off.

[chatter]

This is my Dad.

- Hi. Hi uncle.
- Hi.

These are my friends.
Manasi - best friend.

But that doesn't mean that rest
of them aren't my best friends.

Each of these are
best friends only.

If you had mentioned earlier,
I would have bought food from outside.

That's okay uncle.
We ordered the food.

It was a small house party.

We were having combined study.

We have an exam next week.
We were preparing for that.

Okay. You guys carry on.
Let me just...

- We are leaving uncle. It's late.
- Is it?

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Please take my bag. Bye uncle.
- Bye.

- I am taking this uncle.
- Yeah Okay.

Okay.
Bye

- Let me know when you reach home.
- Yeah Sure.

- Bye Uncle.
- Bye.

These days, it's common to have
combined study and meet ups among kids.

Why are you panicking
for that Nandetta?

I am not panicking.

Still, I don't think it's necessary
to have such intimacy with boys.

Kids these days are much
more progressive than us.

They behave with so much freedom
because they aren't fake about it.

That's true.

I really got scared when I saw
the continuous missed calls.

I was held up in packing.

I left Xavier uncle's place.

Oh, I see.

By the time I reach
back from office,

Aunty would have made dinner
and cleaned the kitchen.

I was unable to help
her even one bit.

I was more like a guest there.

Yeah.

Fathima's roommate shifted out of
the room at the correct time.

So, I packed my bags
immediately and came here.

Alright.

I was planning to call
you once I get settled here.

To be honest, I am fed up with
this busy schedule Nandetta.

I miss you and our home.

But parents should keep an
eye on their kids' affairs.

All of a sudden, why are you
installing the CCTV here?

It's for our security Appu.

If this was installed here on the day
the robber barged into our house,

I could have seen it on
my mobile from Dubai.

Big deal! Were you going to sit in
front of this at midnight sans sleep?

Even if you had seen it, you would have
just panicked about it, what else?

Now I am here only, right?

Whatever happens here,
I will be watching from my factory.

- Rametta...
- Yeah...

All these bills are
computerized, right?

- Yeah. All of them are digitized.
- Okay.

Listen.
Come with me.

- What?
- [Hindi] Is that your daughter?

- Yeah.
- She's very pretty.

So?

[Hindi] If the Dad is this handsome,
daughter will also be pretty.

Carry on with your work.

Go man.

When you reach a turning,
you should put the indicator.

- Understood?
- Yeah.

Just like that.

Make the turn and drive smooth.

Okay.

So, this is the reason you are taking
her out, in lieu of buying ice-creams.

Are you in your senses Dad?

If you let under-aged kids to drive,
parents will be penalized.

- But she drives well.
- Yeah yeah.

Didn't Mom ask you not to drive
until you get the license?

Why are you so stubborn
and disobedient?

You come inside.
I have prepared special food for you.

All of you have pampered her
so much and have spoilt her.

You stay silent.
Nothing has gone wrong now.

Didn't she drive with an aged
person like you alongside her?

If she had crashed somewhere,
who would take the responsibility?

Hey...Stay here. Appu...

Dear, here's your ice-cream.

Go and bring her back.

- Hop in.
- I shall walk.

I said, hop in now.

Please do it softly Appu.

Teenage is the time when
your character gets molded.

If you don't control the unnecessary
stubbornness and disobedience now,

then even you may not be
able to correct yourself.

I had no issues
before you came here.

- I see. So, it's my problem?
- Yes, may be.

All those punishments that I have not given
you for the last 14 years or so,

Looks like, you are going
to get them all together.

I am not having dinner tonight.
Goodnight.

Appu.

Appu, you haven't
taken your lunch box.

Here it is.

Yes?

I am thinking of going
home this weekend.

Okay.

If you can grant me
leave on Monday...

Not just Monday, no one's going to get
leave even this Saturday and Sunday.

Each of you is assigned
duty in the relief camp.

I haven't been separated from my
daughter for this long.

Sir, that's why ...

Why couldn't you stay home
and look after your child?

Did anyone of us mandate
you to work here?

This office is also an emergency center.
Please remember that.

Please come inside.

You've got the Tahsildar's
signature, right?

Yes sir.

Don't go back to
the company now.

Take the vehicle home
and bring it tomorrow.

- Okay Sir.
- I shall inform Ramettan.

Why are the lights
not turned on?

Appu.

Appu.

"The number you have dialed
is currently switched off"

There were a few guests here.

Also, Nandan didn't inform me
that you would be late today.

So, I didn't go there.

I can't get her
on the phone too.

She might be there at
some friend's place.

Yeah obviously.

Please inform Lorens
when he comes home.

When your Mom walked out of this house,
leaving all of us in utter dismay;

There were many who suggested
us to react strongly.

The Commissioner and the MLA at that
time were our father's students.

We could have just
informed them.

But do you know what our
father told us that day?

"We shouldn't do anything
that might hurt her"

That's the culture
of this family.

Culture and legacy of a family
aren't born in thin air.

Fundamentally, one needs to be
well educated to achieve that.

You already know, we are the children
of Professor Varghese Kurian.

Your Betty Aunty entered the service
as soon as she completed her MTech.

Now, she's the executive
engineer in the water authority.

Look at me, I am a double
post- graduate and possess a PhD.

You mother was also
brilliant in her studies.

But she could become
just a graduate.

Who's responsible?
Your father.

When I speak about your father,
I can't help saying this.

He just completed
his tenth standard.

Then he arranged a certificate
from ITI or something,

and then fled to Dubai
just a mechanic.

So that culture difference will be
evident in his character and parenting.

Nandan is here.

But you should
understand something.

Your father has the heart
of gold, filled with love.

He is scolding you and advising
you, only for your good.

You're lucky to have
such a father, right?

You have a long life.

I was telling them about
how a father should be.

Yeah.
That's good.

If you were coming here, why didn't
you just call and inform me Appu?

Did she come here
without informing you?

Dear, that's really bad.

Come.
Let's go.

Let her stay here tonight Nandan.
I will drop her home in the morning.

No, that's not necessary.
It's not that late too.

Pick up the bag.
Come.

Dear, go with him.
Your father is calling you, right?

Go with him.

Appu...

Appu...

Nandettan is getting
worried for no reason.

I was with her till now, right?

I know her.

She has none of those problems
that you are worried about.

At times I feel, I shouldn't
have come back home.

Please Nandetta.

Teenage brings about
such changes.

A few of them will have such
mood swings every month.

At that time, they will
get angry for no reason.

Talk without any control.

But that will change soon.

If you handle her softly, Appu is
such an innocent girl, isn't it?

She just needs to know that you
love her and you care for her.

She's a nice girl.

She's our daughter, right?
You just calm down.

Yeah.

You go to bed.

"Oh my darling"

"You're always my little one"

"My unquenched sweet little dream"

"When you sing,
my mind is moonlit"

"When you droop, my mind is in pain"

"For the smiles to return to her lips,"

"Like a flower so soft"

"I will stand beside you always,
like a night that never blinks"

"Oh my darling"

"Oh my sweet darling"

"Long are those eyes,"

"Adorned beautifully"

"To tie the hair long,"

"For you, my sweetheart"

"You are the sky that is
spread around my life"

"You are the rhythm that
resonates in my soul"

"I shall caress you, my little one"

"Like a soothing breeze"

"Be the shade that
embraces your journey"

"Oh my darling"

"Oh my sweet darling"

I miss you, Mom.

I want to see you, Mom.

I just need you, Mom.

Don't cry Appu.
I will come very soon.

Be a good girl and don't cry.
Please.

"In the distance so far,
without seeing you"

"All those tiny moments these days"

"Burned and bruised is my mind"

"In the heat of this pain, deep inside"

"In the deepest wounds of my mind,
you are my source of solace"

"Like those tiny droplets of honey"

"You are the spring in my treasure,
that never fades away"

"My heart is filled with
the scent of rose water"

"Oh my darling"

What happened?

Vehicles can't go through,
the mountain pass has broken down.

"You're always my little one"

"My unquenched sweet little dream"

"When you sing, my mind is moonlit"

"When you droop, my mind is in pain"

"For the smiles to return to her lips,"

"Like a flower so soft"

"I will stand beside you always,
like a night that never blinks"

"Oh my darling"

"Oh my sweet darling"

Today's Sunday, right?
Please stay ten minutes more Fathima.

No.

Shall we go and have
a cup of Horlicks then?

This is a hostel.
Rest of them are already teasing me.

- Okay.
- Do one thing.

When you come for the next surprise visit,
come with a Horlicks bottle.

Leave now.
Please.

How was your husband's
surprise visit?

He is one of a kind-one who adds
'sugar into the sugarcane juice' kind.

What's that?

The kind of deep love that
may ultimately destroy us.

He will call a dozen
times every day.

We only get an off day on Sunday and we
have lots of errands to meet, right?

That's when he comes all the way
from Kozhikode, on his bike.

My entire day is wasted.

Didn't you have a
love marriage?

I was so naive then.

Now I feel, I should have
delayed my marriage.

I am kind of getting
bored of him.

Your case is entirely
different, right?

I was just 19 years old, when I walked
out of my home to be with Nandettan.

We haven't even proposed our
love for each other until now.

Then?

There came a moment when we couldn't
live without seeing each other.

We were not brave enough to
disclose it to our family.

I got confused.

Then Nandettan told me,

"We won't be able to
convince them.

We can only live happily
and show them that."

The very next day,
I got out of my house.

Well, I can't blame you.
Anyone will fall for that dialogue.

Initially we couldn't even
take our eyes off each other.

Then our daughter was born.
She became the center of attraction then.

Nandettan was everything to her.

He took care of her
like a mother.

He just handed her over to me,
only for breastfeeding.

That very person...

He went to Dubai for 15 years,
to provide a better life for her.

Everyone sees an expat's wife
in a strange and funny way.

But only those who suffer that feeling,
understand the real pain.

The life we dreamt together,
we started living it much later.

That's when I had to come here.

So please inform your 'sugar cane
juice' to add a little less sugar.

After a point, you will be missing his
impromptu bike trips the most in your life.

He just sent me a picture
of the Horlicks bottle.

Let me just call him.
He might not have reached far.

Listen boy, do one thing.

- [Hindi] What sir?
- Oh No!

- [Tamil] Sir will be reaching now.
- Okay.

[Tamil] You know the table on which
the computer is kept, right?

- Yeah.
- [Tamil] Clean that fast.

- [Tamil] I have a little work outside.
- [Hindi] Okay Sir.

Rohit: I see you.

Rohit: I see you.

Rohit: When I look at you like this,
I can't see anything else around me.

Rohit is typing...

Rohit: Never mind, a little chili powder
had gone into my eyes. That's why!

Appu: [Angry smiley].

Rohit: Just kidding.
I will go to any extend for you.

Appu: My Dad will be waiting for you there.
He will kill you in one knockout blow.

Rohit: I don't care.
Your Dad isn't a concern at all.

Dear Chathopadhyaya.

[Hindi] Your garden is very beautiful.
I was looking at that flower.

[Hindi] I am sorry Sir.
Oh sorry.

I am sorry Uncle.

I am not a Bengali.
I am just a Malayali from Vazhakkala.

My father is an advocate,
mother is a housewife.

My sister is an MBBS student.

I have been repeating entrance
exams for the last three years.

Apart from this, I don't
have any other liability.

Aparna and I are at the
same coaching center.

But I am elder to
her by three years.

By the by, I love her a lot.

I would like to marry her.

But when she said that she won't
consider me unless her Dad likes me,

I thought of this idea.

Please don't kill me.

Carry on with your work.

You don't leave.

You sit here.

Sit.

Dad...

Don't complaint about me not getting
into the kitchen anymore, alright?

I have prepared a superb
vegetable biriyani.

Of course, I checked
the YouTube.

Yeah.

What happened?
Not in a great mood?

Come and sit here.

Today, I fired Rabindra
Chathopadhyaya from the factory.

He's not like what I thought.
He is very cunning.

Didn't you say that
he was very smart?

He's smart. But he's a little too smart.
Just like you.

Both of you made a
fool out of me.

Don't blame me for that.

It was his sole idea to impress
you by working there.

Is spite of knowing that,
why didn't you mention that to me?

I thought it was just a
funny attempt by a friend.

How can I betray him then?

What's so funny about making
a fool out of your father?

Why are you so serious
about this Dad?

He is not a harmful
person at all.

Appu, you have every freedom to
express anything to us, right?

Like...about this guy who is stalking you.
Or the masquerade he was doing...

Can't you reveal it to us?

We also might have enjoyed it.

But this was a total mockery.

You seemed to not
trust me at all.

How do I trust you, Appu?

Didn't I directly introduce
him to you at the factory?

Both of you acted well
in front of me then.

This wasn't a one odd day
kind of joke thing, right?

Didn't you guys chat today?

Show me your phone.

Let me check who your friends are
and what you're chatting with them.

Nobody has the right to infringe
into someone else's privacy.

This isn't anyone else.
I am your father.

Appu, I am asking you
to leave it.

Leave it to me.

Appu.

Hey...

Appu.

Where are you going?

It's difficult for me to stay with
a person who doesn't trust me.

Appu, don't take the car.

I don't need your permission
to take this car.

My Mom's family
bought her this car.

Appu.

Appu, stop.

Hey

Appu...Appu...

- Are you alright dear?
- Yeah...but...

- But?
- There was someone in front of the car.

I saw him fall off
after the crash.

- Goodness!
- Appu...

Dear, please hold this.

- Appu, get into the car.
- Dad, where are we going?

First, let's take
him to a hospital. Come.

It will be a Police
case then, right?

I don't have the license.

You were not driving. I was.
We should say like that. Come.

But do you have the
Indian license?

- It's Nandan.
- Okay.

Hello...

What?

And?

Don't panic.

You go directly to
Simon doctor's hospital.

Yeah. If they can't recognize you,
just introduce yourself.

I will call and talk to them.

No. Don't worry.

I am coming there.
I will take care of it.

- What happened?
- Take my shirt.

There is no internal bleeding
or any such complications.

Lucky.

There's a ligament injury in the
hand and has bandaged the same.

We shall observe him for some time
and then you can take him home.

Uncle, you are also a doctor, right?
Just take care of him.

Doesn't your Dad come here?

Yes. He has OP in the morning
and leaves after that.

After that I manage it here.

- Okay.
- Thank you. Thank you doctor.

- He's happy.
- Yeah.

[Everyone laughs]

- Why's he laughing?
- I have no idea.

Please forgive us.

We have no idea who you're
and where you're from?

It was a mistake.

Please forgive us.
We shall do anything for you.

[Speaks Kannada]

What?

[Speaks Kannada]

Kokila?

[Speaks Kannada]

[Speaks Kannada]

[Speaks Kannada]

[Speaks Kannada]

[Speaks Kannada]

Doctor.

He's conscious now.

But he talks gibberish.
That too in some other language.

Don't worry about that.
Scans are all normal right?

This is a post-concussion symptom.
There will be a slight memory loss.

But it will be fine
anytime soon.

Wait for another two days.

If it's still a problem,
contact me then.

Alright.

- Okay?
- Yeah.

[Kannada song]

[Kannada song]

Dad.

[Kannada song]

[Speaks Kannada]

Okay. Yesterday...The hand...
How's the pain?

[Speaks Kannada]

What?

He's saying he doesn't
remember how this happened.

- How did you understand that?
- Google translator.

Oh okay.

[Kannada] Kokila, my dear.
Please go make two cups of tea for them.

- [Kannada] Come and sit.
- No, I will come.

- [Kannada] Come and sit.
- Yeah, I will come later.

- [Kannada] She will make the tea.
- Just a minute.

- [Kannada] What happened?
- We will come now.

When did he wake up?

He woke up long back.

I checked on him when I repeatedly
heard him calling 'Kokila Kokila'.

He asked for a tea then.

He was rambling on since then.

- He's saying, I am his daughter - Kokila.
- What?

Kokila.

Go to him.

Damn. What do we do now?

- Nanda...
- Yeah...

- Let's do something.
- What?

Forget it.

Dad, he needs another shirt.

A shirt of this size?
Give one of my shirts.

Okay.

- Dad.
- Yeah.

Come here.

Is he crazy?

Anyway, let's not take the risk.
It's better to inform the police.

We have done everything
that can be done, right?

It will be completely
chaotic then.

If this becomes a case, every one of us,
including Appu, will be in trouble.

If this is a memory loss like
the doctor said, we shall wait.

Once the memory returns,
we can handle him somehow.

- Dad.
- Yeah.

I got this from his shirt's pocket.
It's a bill from a wine shop.

Meghna Wines.

Arthanahalli.

[Kannada rhyme song]

Sir, Greetings...

[Kannada] Greetings. Do
you want the banana?

No thanks. You may have it.

- Karnataka?
- Hail Karnataka.

Yeah. Hail Karnataka.

A place in Karnataka.
Arthanahalli?

- Arthanahalli?
- Yeah, Arthanahalli.

I told you know.
We can crack this.

In Arthanahhalli,
how about wines?

[Kannada] Oh alcohol, is it?
I am always ready.

- Listen, I shall buy some brandy.
- You stay silent Dad.

I wasn't talking about
having liquor now.

I was asking about Meghna
Wines in Arthanahalli.

[Kannada] What are you saying?
I don't understand anything.

How will I make him understand this?
Bullshit.

Meghna Wines in Arthanahalli?

[Kannada] Tell me the
rest of it, you idiot.

[Appu laughs]

- Stop laughing and bring my phone.
- Hey...

[Kannada] Do not raise your voice at her.
She's my daughter.

Please give me my phone.

Can I click a picture?

- [Kannada] You want a picture?
- Yeah.

- Selfie?
- Yeah.

- Dad?
- Yeah, my Dad.

Give it to me.

Come Dad.

Very nice.

[indistinct chatter in Kannada]

- Arthanahalli?
- [Kannada] Yeah.

Do you know him?

[Kannada] I don't know.

[Kannada] I don't know.

Wait. I just want to know
whether he's from this place?

- [Kannada] I don't know.
- Brother. Wait.

What's this?

[Kannada] Sir, please come.
Do you want tea or coffee?

Do you know him?

[Kannada] Sir, we are poor people.
Please don't bother us. Kindly go away.

Not that. I just want to know
whether he's from this place.

[Kannada] Sir, please
leave us alone.

[Kannada] I have no
idea who he is Sir.

[Kannada] Please leave Sir.
I am getting scared.

[Kannada] He's not a good guy.
Please go sir.

[Kannada] Please don't trouble us sir.
Please Sir.

- [Kannada] I beg you. Please leave.
- Okay.

Brother, can you please
tell me who this is?

[Kannada] Look man, don't spoil my
mood in the morning. Please go.

Hey brother.

Come.

Thank God.
He's a Malayali.

- What do you want to know?
- I want to know about a person.

No one is helping me out.

- Sir, are you Police?
- No, I am not.

Do you know who this is?

This is Garuda Naik.
He's the biggest gangster in Arthanahalli.

Oh my God!

Even the Police
is scared of him.

Do you want to see the fight that
happened in this market last week?

Come. I will show you.

- The Police only installed this here.
- Oh okay.

- Can I get a soda?
- Yeah.

He had a good job in a company
in Bangalore earlier.

Then he lost his way.

Now his main job is to take
contract to kill people.

He receives such contracts from
Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

He does all these
single handedly

It's been a while since
we have heard about him.

God knows where he is.

After Julie has left this place, nobody
waters the plants or cleans the area.

Both the father and daughter
are useless people.

Where's he?

He has been playing with
Appu since morning.

He's her new father, right?

He is tying a swing for
her behind the house.

You have left her alone
with him, is it?

What's this Dad?
Please hold this.

[Kannada song]

Appu, go inside.

[Kannada] How many times have I told
you not to yell at my daughter?

- My hand hurts. Please forgive me.
- It's okay.

Nonsense. You come with me.

Why are you scared like this?
He's an innocent guy.

A very normal person.

No, Dad.

He's a bomb.

An atom bomb that can
explode anytime.

Come.

[Kannada song]

How did it go?

I have given the sleeping pills.

There won't be any
issues till morning.

Why did he come to our place?

His job is to take contracts
for killing, right?

He might have taken
up some jobs here.

That's not the issue now.

We should somehow get rid of him.
Think of a way to do it.

He can regain his
memory anytime.

If his memory returns,
then there's nothing to worry.

How's that?

He won't spare any of us.

Oh, come on.
Don't be so scared.

We, Malayalees, are
not that futile.

After listening to the anecdotes
about him by the people there,

my hands haven't
stopped shivering yet.

- What's the name of his place?
- Arthanahalli.

You just mollycoddle him and
get him into the car somehow,

Then you take him to some area
in Arthanahalli and dump him.

Never turn back after that
and come straight back home.

Just like how we dump
cats at some places,

Do the same thing.

Are you ready?

I am always ready.
It's really an adventure.

Okay. Let's do that then.

[Kannada] Where are we going?

- We have to go to the hospital.
- [Kannada] Why?

We should change the bandage.

[Kannada] This isn't a problem.

Doctor will cut and
remove this bandage.

- Remove it?
- Yeah.

- [Kannada] That's good. It itches.
- Yeah, itching itching.

Let's go.

[Kannada]Dad, I will go to
the hospital and come back.

Okay.

- [Kannada] Who's this?
- My friend.

Okay.

Be careful with your legs.

I didn't expect to
cage him this soon.

- Yeah. Arthanahalli is near to Mysore.
- Yeah.

It's not possible to go there
and come back in a single day.

Okay.

Since Appu is alone,
let Mom sleep alongside her at night.

- You people take your time.
- Yeah.

But be careful.

Don't halt the car,
until you cross the border.

I won't apply the brakes until
we reach this 'Halli' place.

Okay.

Kokila. Come.

Kokila will stay here.

[Kannada] If Kokila doesn't come,
then I also won't come.

Once we remove the plaster from the
hospital, we can come back soon.

[Kannada] Call Kokila.

You people leave.

Kokila and I will come in
another vehicle behind this.

[Kannada] I will come
in that vehicle.

The girl can't
come to the hospital.

[Kannada] If I punch you,
you will be stuck on the wall.

Dad, I will also come.

Appu, Arthanahalli is
very far from here.

That's okay, let's not cancel
the journey because of this.

Appu, get into the car.

Get in fast.

[Kannada] I am here for you dear.
Don't worry.

You've been on your phone since the
time we got back from office.

What happened?

Both the father and the daughter
are not picking up the phone.

I haven't talked to them
properly for the last 2- 3 days.

When I called yesterday,
one was fully engrossed in her studies,

and the other was fully
engaged in meetings.

They might be held up.

Yeah.

But we get tensed if we don't
get them on phone, right?

The Superintendent isn't
giving me leave either.

Once they are free,
they will call back.

Take a bath.

- [Kannada] Are you hungry dear?
- What?

- [Kannada] Shall we eat something?
- No.

[Kannada] Stop the car
in front of that Dhaba.

- [Kannada] Let her eat something.
- Okay.

- [Kannada] Kokila...
- Yes.

[Kannada] Dear, don't hesitate
to eat whatever you want. okay?

[Kannada] Hey man.
Garuda is here.

[Kannada] Yeah.

[Kannada] - Do you want this dear?
- No.

[Kannada] You should
eat vegetables.

[Indistinct conversation]

- Dad.
- Appu, move away.

Lorens. Karate?

I have not been practicing it for a while.
Now it's fine.

[Indistinct laughter]

[Indistinct laughter]

Appa.

- [Kannada] Mom?
- [Kannada] I am coming dear.

Kokila.

[Kannada] Come on.

[Kannada] Come on.

- Where are you going?
- What about him?

Didn't we come to dump him?

- Come. Let's go.
- Appu. Come.

Get into the car.

Appu.

[Kannada] You're not my Kokila.

[Kannada] But you've
the same eyes.

[Kannada] the same smile.

[Kannada] the same mind.

[Kannada] Everything is the same.

Where's Kokila?

[Kannada] Here (in my heart).

[Kannada] Kokila was a
very good daughter.

[Kannada] But I
wasn't a good father.

[Kannada] You're a
very good daughter.

[Kannada] Your Dad is
a very doting father.

[Kannada] Be happy my dear.
Bless you.

Appu, please don't
shout like this.

I will handle your Dad.

I will come today.
Please be patient till then.

Pass the phone to your Dad.

Nandetta, how many times have I
told you to leave her alone?

Why are you still
fighting with her?

Isn't she a child?

If she says something wrong,
we should forgive her, right?

Please Nandetta.

I will reach there tonight itself,
whether I get leave or not.

If it's for the leave...

It's not for the leave.

This is my resignation.

I don't need leaves anymore.
I don't need the job either.

Wait.

Listen.

Don't lose your job,
I will sanction the leave.

That's up to you Sir.

Hey.

Why are you running so fast?

Why are you staring like this?

I am confused whether
this is a dream or not.

Don't get confused.
It's a dream only.

For certain dreams
to be a reality,

we might have to patiently
wait for some time.

Mom, come. There are a lot of
stories I need to update you with.

Come.

- Dad.
- Yeah.

Rabindra Chathopadhyaya.

- Who's that?
- That's one of the stories.

[Daughter]
